Millions of tourists flock to France every year to view the tallest tower in Paris, the Eiffel Tower. It has been the main tourist attraction in Paris. Built in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was constructed as an archway to the World’s Fair. It was named after Gustave Eiffel whose company designed and built the tower. La Tour Eiffel (French for “The Eiffel Tower”) has been the subject of numerous postcards, paintings, and songs and is an internationally recognized symbol of France.

It was built as an archway to the 1889 World’s Fair. Afterward, it was not removed and, eventually, Parisians and the government became accustomed to it and kept it there.

Draw the levels of the Eiffel Tower. On top, just a bit below the tip of the tower, draw a line. Now, almost halfway down the triangle draw a horizontal line and again halfway from that, draw another line.

Outline in the tower using a fine marker. Erase the guidelines.

Now draw a series of “X”‘s in between the columns. The sizes of the X’s vary depending on where you will be putting them in the drawing. Start with the larger ones at the base of the tower and decrease their size as you progress to the top.

Draw in vertical lines through the Xs as shown to create the impression of the steel structure. Add in the base blocks of the Eiffel Tower as shown.

Compared to the standard or profile view of the tower, this drawing is drawn as if you are looking at the tower from below, from a worm’s eye view. Draw guidelines according to that perspective, as shown.

Due to the perspective, the lower inside part of the tower is shown. Therefore, instead of just drawing one to two half ovals, draw four of them, to connect the columns. Always remember to add volume.

Outline the entire drawing in a fine pointed marker. Erase the guidelines.
